B&D 2 Low kit install Advice

[CRuD]

Hello to all

I bought a 2 Low kit from B&D for my baby.

My question is any advise on the install of said item??

Rev is to fast to keep from riding the clutch for me.

Thanks.

See Ya

This is a very easy install. No special advise... hardest part is deciding where to mount the switch. If you got a little sheet of instructions, thats all there is to it. Post any specific questions... I am glad to help.

Hardest part for me was to connect the smaller vacuum line supplied by BD to the larger drive motor vent tube. There was not a supplied fitting so I had to make my own.

No suggestions on the install, it's pretty staright forward. The hardest part I had was fishing the wire through the grommet in the firewall. A couple points after you get things hooked up; flip the switch to the "on" position before you throw it into 4wd. A easy way to tell if you are in 2-lo is that the 4wd light on the dash should be "off". If you are in 2-lo, and shut the truck off, and then restart, you will be in 4 lo, not 2-lo (check for the light on the dash). Those were the only things that had me baffled initially... Good luck.

Wiz. . thanks for including the tips on operating this system... I had forgot to add those! Another way to tell if it is working... turn a tight corner. 4WD will kind of want to hop the front end around... 2WD Low is very smooth.



This kit is quality, and if you back up trailers once in a while, it is well worth the price.

Thanks.

It looks pretty easy. My son (13) and I have done all the work on my baby so far other than Linex.

Just our of curiosity where did you'all mount your switch??

Thanks again.

See Ya

CRuD,

I had pulled out my ashtray to mount my brake controller in the void, and I mounted the switch below that. For the power source, I spliced into the lighter. You can't see the switch, but it's easy to get to. If I ever sell the truck and pull things off, there will be no holes that show, as they will be covered up by the ashtray.
